not really sure but is it possible they might scratch the surface of your stove top?

I’m going to guess that these are not exceptionally heavy bottomed…. and there’s this…
“* Heavy-Weight aluminum cookware is also recommended. It conducts heat faster than other metals and cooks evenly. Aluminum residue sometimes appears as scratches on the cooktop, but these can be removed if cleaned immediately.”
if they’re not heavy-weights, they can warp and then not sit good on the glass top….

A couple of reasons: First, this set of pans isn’t the best for heat conductivity on a glass cooktop. Anodized aluminum will do well, but this porcelain enameled aluminum isn’t as good a quality and doesn’t conduct heat as well. Second, these could also have a slight roundness to the bottom and the pans you use on a glass cooktop must be dead-on flat for proper heat transfer. If you get the Rachael Ray enameled cast iron set, this would work better (but more expensive, of course). Or, you can check the website of the manufacturer of your cooktop to see if they recommend a specific brand of pots and pans.

They are coated with porcelain which is similar to glass and because it’s similar in texture and composition, it will scratch the devil out of your glass top stove.
Get stainless steel and a can of Barkeeper’s Friend cleanser.
